I'm genuinely surprised there are so many detractors in this thread. I thought all the segments were fairly inspired and creative. Definitely one of the better "modern" horror films I've seen.

Yes, the tie-around story was awe-ful but I found that everything else (surprisingly) worked. The only segment I didn't really love was the the one most people rave about, the Succubus and even that had it's moments.

This time around, the directors are, naturally, weaker, but I'll still bite on the strength of the original.

It was just under a year ago that horror anthology V/H/S caused a stir at Sundance, the high profile project leaving audiences buzzing. At least the ones who didn't faint. And now the producers behind that project are at it again with a new anthology titled S-VHS.

As previously reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the directors this time out include Gareth Evans (The Raid) co-directing with Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre); Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project) co-directing with his long time producer Greg Hale; Jason Eisener (Hobo With A Shotgun); Adam Wingard (You're Next) and writer Simon Barrett making his directorial debut.

And now Twitch is proud to exclusively present the very first official image from the project. The blood soaked affair above comes from the Evans / Tjahjanto segment.

Ya, opinions are split (it was average for me.). Definitely creative, but lacking substance.

I'd argue that the directors this time around are far more known (and better directors) in the horror genre than those in the first. That's the reason why I'm pretty excited for this one, despite only moderately liking the first.
